of elephantiasis. 2,5 billion people at risk with elephantiasis cases in
the world. Indonesia has 6.233 Fillariasis chronic cases, West Kalimantan
has 156 chronic cases (MF Rate 4,5 %). In Tanjung Bayur Orchard was found
17 cases 13 chronic cases (MF Rate 17,8 %) and in 4 mortality case.
Tanjung Bayur is a marsh area with field , ditch, water plant which can be
prepared as growing vector place. The objective is to determine the risk
factors that influence fillariasis in Tanjung Bayur orchard, Sungai Asam
Village.
